Full Professor of Geometry at the Polytechnic University of Marche; Coordinator of the DEI Commission of the Italian Mathematical Union
Bio
Chiara de Fabritiis earned a degree in mathematics from the University of Pisa and a diploma from the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa in 1989; she also completed a postgraduate course in mathematics at the same institution in 1994. She held the position of university researcher in geometry at SISSA in Trieste between 1992 and 1996, before moving to the same role at the University of Bologna.
In 1999, she became an associate professor of Geometry at the Polytechnic University of Marche and a full professor there in 2005. She was director of the "Vito Volterra" Department of Mathematics from 2008 to 2011, and since 2022, she has been director of the Interuniversity Consortium for Advanced Mathematical Education.
Her scientific activity focuses primarily on the complex geometry of manifolds, which in more recent years has been joined by quaternionic geometry and analysis. She also works on mathematics education, with a focus on tertiary education and the use of digital technologies, and on the applications of geometry to technology and art, particularly music.
In addition to her scientific work, she is committed to gender equality in STEM fields. Since 2018, she has been a member of the Scientific Committee of the Italian Mathematical Union, coordinates the DEI Commission of the UMI, and is active in scientific societies such as European Women in Mathematics and the European Mathematical Society .
